How is it that these two journalists don't make any mention of the Swede who also had a fantastic ride and most likely would have bumped Seixas off tge podium if he hadn't hit the deck....I guess they're just too start struck to be a bit more objective.21-09-2026 15:49

This dude truly mailed in...for a moment i thought he made a mistake meaning to write Felix Gall o Ricitello (not that he is in contention) but then again near the end of the article...uff!...this is just deplorable journalism.30-08-2026 00:53

If you're referring to Blackmore he is 23 yo. Though i agree with the engineer, none of those names has made any noise to make anyone believe they will bolster the squad.11-08-2026 22:52

The last post is spot on.....the UAE team had the resposibility of straightening their boy, seeing as he was letting a giro he had in the bag go up the road. Remember Yates was virtual leader by only about 17 seconds at the top of Finestre so that giro was still salvageable even if Yates linked with Wout, they still had Sestriere to cut into Yates's lead if they had not brought him back at that point. So yes...UAE DS blew it.04-06-2025 01:24

I agree that he probably could win the Vuelta if he were to enter but he or probably more Matxin thought more of long term effects of doing three GTs in the span of six months and then having to do the Tour again in July. He probably would shorten his career considerably doing such huge efforts so close together. I'd say he's better off saving that ambitious triple for 3 or 4 years down the line, after he has already secured at least another 2 Tours, after all he's still only 25. He can attempt that at 28 or 29 when he woyld be even stronger, i don't think he's done growing yet.08-08-2024 01:34
